Handmade soap from loofah.

Components for the manufacture of handmade soaps:
- loofah!
- soap base transparent for pouring luffy
- titanium dioxide (and if you have a white base - then it is not needed)
- essential oils or flavors (to taste)
- dyes (any which are not afraid.) I took liquid soaps from the mum (red, blue, green), tar and sea-buckthorn juice, or rather, thicker from it)
- an aluminum can from your favorite drink))) well, or what you will find (with a film I had a tragedy, in the glass, too, I do not dare to pour anything)
- a packet-box from under juice or kefir

Ljufa is a sponge similar to a washcloth, made of a fibrous mass of a special grade of pumpkins.

I prepared the jar in a special way)) the edges turned outward, because after cutting off the caps they were not even and could scratch the soap when taking out

Luff

Our utensils and luffa size of the jar completely arranged me. That's really there, made happy!))

Making soap at home

So, we pack the loofah in the cylinder and put the bath for the base. I filled it with 3 different "stuffings":

1. transparent with tar

2. Transparent with blue, green and fir (EM)

Dyes for soap

3. Transparent with green and sea-buckthorn

Poured with an interval of 5 minutes (until a new portion melts), but as it turned out, in an aluminum can, soap pipets as slowly cools and the layers are not at all frozen, so they mixed (a gradient was obtained, which is nice, and gray-greenishness could come out ... if desired You can make clear layers, but you'll have to wait longer)

Home soap

It was necessary to wait all the same, in the result we get here such sausage

Further it is already easier. Put the sausage in a box of juice (I cut off the bottom and do not re-paste - I'm afraid now !!). We melt a new substrate (white or with titanium dioxide).

Soap at home

I added EM peppermint and grapefruit and various dyes in different proportions (red, sea buckthorn, kaapel of green) to the outer layer - well, there's already full improvisation. The more unexpectedly, the later interesting

Soap making

Decided not to flood the bulge from the bottom and leave the soap such a glazik these layers freeze much faster, while the new layer melts already with the "crust" - you can immediately pour and do not wait.

And now we tear the box to shreds (we need to tear it off like a wrapper with a gift, with cheers!))))) - and there -

Make handmade soaps

Cut, of course

Soap making at home

They helped me, because I had slightly injured a part of my fingers in advance about the edge of the can))) that's all, actually. Further - I boast of the result)

Beautiful soap with your hands

Home soap

The stained-glass effect turned out just because the layers in the loofah were not frozen and mixed .. that is, unintentionally;) all the successes and inspirations in the making of handmade soaps!)
